Apple is pleased to announce the open source release of the new
JavaScriptCore framework, based on the kjs JavaScript engine from KDE.
JavaScriptCore is a private API which may be used by future Mac OS X
applications such as Sherlock, and is provided as Open Source as part
of our partnership with the KDE community. JavaScriptCore will be used
by Sherlock in an upcoming O/S release, and possibly by other Apple
software in the future. Apple chose kjs as the basis of its JavaScript
technology for its simple and efficient code.
The source to JavaScriptCore is available at
http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/others/JavaScriptCore-
0.2.tar.gz. In the future, we hope to have JavaScriptCore available in
the darwin CVS repository.
We would like to thank kjs author Harri Porten, all of the other kjs
contributors, and the KDE project.
All Apple changes will be contributed back to the mainline version.
